A pressure of business recently has
prevented us from getting in our lit
tle mite for several times, but your
readers have not lost much on ae
count thereof. Until the last ten days
it has been so rainy that farmers were
'in the blues," and continued in the
blues till they got "in the weeds,"
and since the rains ceased they have
been bo eternally present' with, the
weeds that you can't get to see one
without going to the field ; and that
is against my profession. It is not
my business to go to the field and fol
low a man back: and lorth from one
end of the field to the other to collect
a little news or neighborhood gossip
for the instruction or even ainuse
mentor newspaper readers. Ko it is
not to be wondered at that the news
"crap" is short.

Mr. Geo. Cardwell,of Shellsford, is
visiting "his folks" in our communi

as often as you please, ueorge, we
are always glad to see you. '
VIOLA.

weather has helped the farmers out
of the weeds. We are in need of rain
at the present oats and young clover

We are as a rule divided on the
question of cheat some take the po-

while others stand it out that cheat
was sown. I will not give my opin
ion on the subject but I never saw
as much cheat in life as we have this
year. All wheat fields are poisoned
more or less with it in our section of
country: some fields will not pay to
reap.

Susan L., wife of Thomas Brown,
and daughter of John O. and Louisa
A. Pope, was born Aug. 10, 1S-IG,
and died in Warren county, Tenn.,
near Hickory Grove church, May 13,
1890. She professed religion aud
joined the Baptist church, (the church
of her parents) at about 1G or 17
years of age, and lived a worthy and
upright member of the same until
death.
But we will miss her more than
they. Living nearer our church,
and her husband being a devoted
Methodist, and her religion of that
large spirited type that recognizes
true Christianity wherever found,
and that labors for the cause when
ever opportunity oners, we were
more blessed by her Godly walk, and
christian work.
But, with her "the tiresome strife
is o'er," and she rest3 from her labors
and her works follow her.
She lived to see some of her chil
dren converted, and rejoiced to wit
ness them earnest workers in
church with their father. When I ill the Dry .Goods business,
asked her as to her future prospects, cash to pay for what we buy,
